Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V: Test Drive

[MultiTurk61]

i love my sentra sr FUCKING LOVE YOU NISSAN i dont think sentras are ugly as many people think they talk about honda and shit who dont have honda wtf

[TheVq35de]

yeah u r right nissan should build ser all version as a rwd i owned altima ser wish it an RWD but my 08 g35s is way nice than altima ser or a maxima from performance n driving , suspension i know they all nissan but infiniti is fully 100% build in japan

[the1whoB34T5]

Man these are hideous. Its all about the b15 FTW!

[pamir9900]

@CoasterBeach lol.No wonder some ameegos, commit crime in order to purchase caros, and then they take their neckless bodies, or flat ass back to MEXICO.haaaa

[pamir9900]

@CoasterBeach You are right, Japanese cars are being sold throughout the world.Not all European cars are good.The ones that are good, are high to maintain.

[pamir9900]

Just this past saturday, which was 06/10/2011 i bought 2011 Nissan Sentra SE-R with Automatic Transmission.It's nice care I always wanted to get the se-r model. I agree with most of you that, the car is reliable.

[rybang1]

this car sounds gay as fuck

[georgibubu]

@CoasterBeach Man, I agree with what you are saying, but, did you know that the SER and the Spec V that people in the States drive, are made in Mexico? Greetings!

[Nequetrefi11]

come on folks, such horrible quality on the videos

[blahblah2018]

@Nequetrefi11 dude, this video was uploaded 2007, there wasn't 360p back then...

[HDMFly]

dumbass progressive commercials make me not want to get their insurance.

[escuadron401]

@CoasterBeach LoL, u think nissan is better than an european car?? lol, nissan is made by the cheapest materials, u may be a nissan owner, and u can see the nissan's cars are cheapers!! so dont be stupid, why nissan is very cheap??? LOW QUALITY!!

[cmendozaindustrial]

yesterday i raced against one... he lost...my 1998 gtp still way better

[pcfxer]

I can't wait. Tomorrow is the day



[PantstofryPWNZ]

@pcfxer Luckkkkkkky!!!!

[towheadmancos]

I have an '08 Spec V; it's awesome fun for not a lot of $; also had an '05 Spec V...both very reliable rides than can haul ass...never had a problem one with either car...

[slav801]

Does not look sporty. So sad.

[tubegangsta]

What a boring review.

[Jeronwong]

Lol the bottom part looks like it was borrowed from the Infiniti G37

[escuadron401]

NISSAN SUCKS!!! shity cars, low quality.

[nissanxrma1]

@escuadron401 haha yeah okay buddy. nice troll

[italiankilla58]

I have a 2010 nissan sentra SR it drives sooo awsome i love the brake's you dont have to slame on them like every other car out there

[MultiTurk61]

@italiankilla58 yea i have the exact same its perfect

[italiankilla58]

@MultiTurk61 Hell yeah. Only thing is the breaks are a bit sensative but thats just me. The sentra is great on gas. Plus i would sugest anyone to buy this as their first car.

[MultiTurk61]

@italiankilla58 yea yea brakes sensative i just love it dude if i were not getting sentra i was going to get volkswagen golf 2007 but somehow i really like this car i dont think they are ugly as many people think they probly driving some crappy shit what ur sr color and did u make it faster or anything

[italiankilla58]

@MultiTurk61 yup. and me to dude. But i made a mistake on my comment from a year ago i ment to say it was my mom's sentra my bad. And the car is white and nah its just all stock but its a very fast car. But my mom might give me the sentra when she gets a new car if i dont get the sentra i want a 2005 mazda rx 8 they r awsome cars

[MultiTurk61]

@italiankilla58 i dont hear good thing about mazda but its your choice mine also white after my surgery first thing im getting the tint windows and black rims and make little more faster

[italiankilla58]

@MultiTurk61 Ehh mazda has had some problems in the past. And I saw the pic dude it looks sick as hell :D u should do that to ur sentra are u gonna also lower it? and good luck in ur surgery, I was in surgery b4 i had my appendix taken it out cuz it burst. But now im ok. I hope u feel better after ur surgery

[MultiTurk61]

@italiankilla58 nah i wont lower it well for now maybe in future maybe cuz i dont want to spent alot money on these things

[italiankilla58]

@MultiTurk61 O ok. 

[MultiTurk61]

@italiankilla58 there is a sentra pic on my channel ima do exact the same to mine

[macktenful]

does the reglar ser have a cvt trans

[pantstofry]

@macktenful Yes, it has a CVT with paddle shifters that simulate gear changes, as CVT doesn't actually change gears

[macktenful]

@pantstofry yeah i know thats kinda stupid to put trans with no gears in a car lik this

[pantstofry]

@macktenful yeh, it actually does a good job of keeping the car in its powerband and gives good fuel efficiency... but i agree that putting the CVT in the more sporty, peppier sentras was probably not too good.

[johngorgis]

shitty fwd

[AnonymoussourceL0L]

surprisingly loud?

[chapinfeliz]

No way the b16 looks better that the b15. I own a 2006 Sentra SER spec v, the thing I like from the b16 is the 25 extra hp. Thats impressive. LOL.

[jdrizzo21]

@chapinfeliz i got that w new plugs and a mugen cold air... hehe

[pantstofry]

I think that all Nissan should do for 2011 is cut the roofline a bit, you know, make it a bit sleeker, and restyle the headlights/taillights to make them more aggressive. Maybe restyle the front and rear fascias a bit. But if this car were more sleek it'd be pretty nice

[andxiao]

I have a 2001 and the engine is still really smooth

[georgeflacker]

We use to have a couple of sports cars during the years. We now have a corvette on the driveway and my wife drives a SE-R. And my god this thing is good in the corners. It just grips and grips and grips. And it's comfortable. I have driven 40k Mercedes and Audis and this things is as fast and as comfortable on the highways. So when you see the badge NISSAN, don't believe a word guys, don't believe a word. It goes like a bastard!

[TheUtube4ever]

0:01 - 0:17 How is redlining the car, pulling the handbrake to do a u-turn test driving a car

[AzNgiftedkid]

It would be great if Nissan gave the Sentra SE-R RWD.

[sanju2]

@AzNgiftedkid

Never gonna happen. Get a 370Z or a GT-R. lol

[AzNgiftedkid]

@KatiushaVN4 FWD creates too much understeer, and that doesn't make it fun to drive.

[0SPACEB0Y]

@KatiushaVN4 RWD is better for performance. FWD is better on bad road conditions, snow, etc.. and often more fuel effecient. you may not notice, but the best sports cars are RWD or AWD.

[jdrizzo21]

@0SPACEB0Y yet the integra w fwd nat. aspirated 4 cyl keeps up with the nissan silvia rwd turbo v6 on the touge in japan...  yes its slightly slower up hill but 1.4 sec behind is damn good for a fwd 4 cyl. Honda Power or go home crying

[WowYourVidsSuck]

My v2 can smoke this piece of shit....

[alwaystoolate1]

2002 was the best year of this car

[alwaystoolate1]

2002 was the best year of this car

[jblackapple]

fugly....id rather have a focus RS but they dont sell those here in the US

[towhead81]

I had an '05 Spec V; now I have an '09 Spec V. The quality, handling, and power are improved over that of the '05, especially with the addition of a cold air induction system. Even Nissan has said that this model is superior in quality to the 3rd generation models.

[drummerblade]

nissans are excellent cars..but this one is slow. zero to 60 is 7 seconds!

[amisixpdx]

Fugly.

Mazdaspeed3 wil eat this thing alive and is ~20k.

Torqueless wonder. N/A has no business being in a "performance" car unless it's a 6 cylinder +

This is a great first car for a spoiled kid at 16 to wrap themselves around a pole... 200hp is too much balls for the little ones. Besides - "performance" car with the shifter coming out of the dash?! FAIL

[Kennymex]

@amisixpdx Mazda uses Turbo Besides they are not reliable;Nissan Quality is much Better.

[88specv]

sentra ser is always a kool car..i got a b13 ser..

[integra0guy]

cool se-r 's are awsome

[sentraser24]

@integra0guy

I have a 2010 SER amd love it

[Jak3Mac]

I like the B15 better, but the B16 is still one hell of a car.

[thndrfingers]

the b15 sentras are ugly ,looks like a JELLY BEAN. the new ones(b16/c16) are better looking.

[XenomorphLV426]

You're in the minority with that one. The b16 looks like a Toyota Prius. Although they have grown on me a bit; mechanically they are superior to the b15.

[thndrfingers]

is that what the survey says? well the Prius and the Base model 07 Sentra both have frosty clear tail lights and the similarity ends there. The 07 Sentra spec V reminds me of the Cadillac CtS.(the front end)

[SMGslimg00dy]

@thndrfingers Are you serious??? The B15's look way better, the B16's look like half a freaking egg.

[diediego]

@thndrfingers  LOL i think the new ones are UGLY! civic looking. B15 is better looking.

[Piratejake86]

@thndrfingers b15 are much better looking. The new ones look (and drive) like a Prius.

[zanzibarpat]

i like the 02 03 models these look too boxy and the older ones look more like a skyline from the front@thndrfingers

[FlipMollc]

nice little whip, stock with double clutch (paddle shifters)

[ambientflier]

God, these things are ugly...what a shame...I had an 02 se-r and it looked 10x better.

[dezarkeno]

dude whoever said a rsx can handle 14 psi is a retard

[Jak3Mac]

Its true. It can pretty easily. The K20 is an f'ing strong engine. My B16a in my Civic is running 15 PSI on stock internals.

[khs5041]

have an 08 and nothing but a gti can come close all SI's can't come close

[RaPLipS]

@khs5041 FUCK YEAH, plus si are more expensive

[salvador62633]

i love all types of cars but who ever made this body was on crack meth and moon shine

[KSE828]

New gen sentra's look like ass.

[alstar999]

hea man i think i got best year, mine is 01

[KSE828]

Yeah. I have an '05 Cobalt SS/SC that i love to death. It's still stock but it moves. It's my poor mans corvette, since i'll probably not be able to afford one for years.

[jswakatsuki]

I much prefer the third gen spec v. at least in looks

[racoonpooon]

upgraded brakes, stickier jizz on your face.

[94XJ]

Ok, solid engine...but a wrong-wheel drive sedan? Even a coupe would at least be on par with a Civic...but it's no secret FWD sucks.

[aconfusedazn]

Sorry, but this engine is far from solid. I love my SE-R but the Qr25 is imo one of the worst built engine that responds poorly to bolt ons. Only after turbo-ing it does it come alive, but even so, now I'm afraid of blowing it up, because it has such a long stroke. I guess go big or go home.

[jambi99]

What is the year of your SE-R model?

[TheReapersSon]

UGLY fucking car.

Nissan needs to fire whoever is in charge of designing their cars these days, as well as toss out that CVT garbage they insist on throwing in as well.

[hagileseve]

yea man i absolutely agree with you, perfect example... the new gt-r's... what is with that thoes cars look so terrible

[idontgiveasheet]

I like the new sentra, i had an '06 sentra but it felt so low-quality and flimsy i was glad that my lease was up and i had to exchange it for the new sentra.

[jdrizzo21]

@idontgiveasheet why trade the old piece o shit for a new piece o shit?

[idontgiveasheet]

@jdrizzo21 when the new "piece o shit" is better than the old one, why not?

[jdrizzo21]

@idontgiveasheet u got a good point there man!! hell it even smells fresh!! peace man

[pantstofry]

@jdrizzo21 i'd take any nissan product over a honda, i'd rather not be called a ricer

[jdrizzo21]

@pantstofry its all a matter of personal opinion as nissan does make great cars.. however rice in case you didnt kno was a name givin to the american race scene by the rest of the world, standing for race inspired cosmetic enhancements, or sadly a bunch of tribal crap and stupid stickers on an otherwise stock vehicle.. its not a honda thing but an american blunder. when i see a car with chrome tail lights, i also cry ricer.. its all jdm products for me or nothing. i had my integra imported..

[pantstofry]

@jdrizzo21 Well, you'd have to admit that within the "ricer" category, the car you think of is a Civic. I've seen many riced out civics, and I know many also rice out the sentra and pretty much anything they can get their hands on. I've seen an infiniti riced out, it was sucky :/

[NSX86R]

@pantstofry And ricers exists beyond imports, I've seen my fair share of riced out chromed mustangs, impalas, chevy, ford, dodge trucks. The list goes on...... Sad aint it.

[PantstofryPWNZ]

@NSX86R True. Those are just awful, they make me sad

[iStevens0n]

@idontgiveasheet why would you get another sentra after your lease was up? they're cool and all but TRY ANOTHER CAR! #youonlyliveonce

[MaligantWorm]

I really want the spec-v but Nissan ruined the sentra's body since 2007. The 03 spec-v was a beast...esp with the right bodykit

[PrescriptionSeven]

for fucking real dude..this new body is so gay.

[frozenbarbz]

Yah.. The 02 too.

[PrescriptionSeven]

why the fuck did they approve this body style!?? shame on you nissan.

[mikafl2509]

The first 14 seconds of the clip it looked like that piece of crap was about to explode... LOL!!!! personally, I'd buy a second hand used GOLF MkV anyday

[96radster]

bring back the 240 sx

[alajet]

nissan, vw, and honda all have powerful 4 cylinders engines, why dont they follow hyundai of all companies and make a cool affordable RWD coupe? imagine this engine in a modern 240.

[oscargiovanniortiz8]

I agree with

happyboyy8k that body need some surgery 4real ppl.

[bigphat200]

why so ugly

[happyboyy8k]

how about put this engine into something that looks like the Z and sell it for $20K, know what I mean?

[paul7from7ukr]

altima coupe is the closest thing....but then no one would buy a 370z

[glndxn2002]

honda killer!!!

[Crashingsmashing]

Sentra is a piece of shit ^_^

[mrcitic8788]

ya know i would have said the same thing, until i drove a 2002. man that thing hauls for such a small car

[HonKyTanKMaN]

on wich car are you compating this one ?

[borna392]

Sentra is a junk car.

[tokenpk]

hey! fuck you asshole! this is my first car(: and i'm 15.

[Gh0sty1]

hahahaha same!

[RaPLipS]

@tokenpk the fuck ur parents buyt a 20 grand car for? spoiled fucking kid!

[ivansuarex]

VAAAAAAG POOOOOOWER !!!!!

[jim5killer]

lol vag power lol

[LeCoyote18]

fuck rsx spec v power

[mikedog1975]

just got one its sick!

[virdi1992]

i really dont know y u people buy sentras, there soo gay, they r not racer cars

[ComfortablyxNumb59]

and how old are you? and what do you drive that is so superior to an SE-R Spec V? what do you even know about the car? it's capabilities?

[virdi1992]

im 16 years old and i drive a 2003 acura rsx.

[ComfortablyxNumb59]

lol, an Acura RSX is nice.. but is is in no way superior to the Sentra SE-R. And it's FWD too. So you can't really talk shit on the Sentra SE-R when your car is in the same class.

[ComfortablyxNumb59]

it* is in

[beto4rmtheghetto]

no one cares xD!

[nickv11763]

maybe not the new ones but the old se-r's can blow you away

[virdi1992]

dude you gotta be kidding me. i would love to race you. My rsx isent all stock. Its a rsx s type. I added a turbo and a AEM V2 Intake. Im pritty sure that can beat your Sentra anyday. :).. You might think im lieing since im just 16 but im not.

[nickv11763]

i never had a sentra but my friend did and you would never touch his old one it beat an 06 vette but if you like to race my srt-4 with 270hp and 312tq (mustage dyno'd it with a boost leak which is fix now) then fine but if you turbo'd your car you would have to do alot more then that like replacing your internal or your motor will blow thats why i said if b/c you didn't stop lying your only 16yrs old

[bobilator1]

Turbo on Acura engine cost a lot , the engine need to be 100 % remade or it will blow up at 5 psi .

[FalloutProductions1]

wtf are you stupid? 5 psi? a stock type-s can go to about 14 psi before you need to upgrade the valvetrain. and its a honda so there is alot of aftermarket support for it, blow up? your fucking stupid thats the dumbest thing to say

[snoochieboochie15]

wrong douche, you have to adjust the valvetrain, or obtain forged rods, aluminum rings, and titanium pistons

[nickv11763]

i'm not sure if you commented the wrong person but i said you'd have to replace the internals to handle any real boost and that means things that are not bolt-ons rods pistons rings ect. are all internals

[hxcmexi]

My SS Camaro LT1. Would eat ur RSX type S.  If i had it stock it would still eat ur turbo RSX. just imagine how much

680 hp can do.

[Nosillla]

i have that same exact model and color (black one) in my driveway. So sick!

[brownmokey]

Im on the market for a new car around 20k and I have chosen between the 4dr civic si or the nissan ser spec v what what car do you think is better (Putting aside the honda vs nissan Beef)

[wlsdn0128]

Go for nissan ! Nissan makes more sportier Car than What really honda's main purpose...

[brownmokey]

Ya but who has more aftermarket parts

[wlsdn0128]

of course honda and toyota but... nissan is not too bad... at least it's better than other american companies...

[ComfortablyxNumb59]

Oh and to answer that, i'm sure the Honda has more aftermarket support right now. The Spec V is still a new model, and a lot of people aren't willing to void their warranties because of aftermarket mods. As much as I love Nissan, they will void the warranty faster than you could blink an eye if you are modded and have problems.  You'll probably have to wait a couple of years. But the car is fun as hell right out of the box, I don't care what wheels it drives with.

[Eclipse1719]

Go for the Nissan. It's different, there's way to many Civics on the road, but whenever people see a nice spectra they do a double take.

[ComfortablyxNumb59]

I'm a huge Nissan fan, so my choice is obvious. But putting aside my bias, I would still choose the Spec V because it has TORQUE (180 ft lbs). Which is much better for daily driving, as well as putting the LSD to use to power through curves without having to rev the engine like a sport bike. Make sure you purchase the LSD, it's worth it. And styling is controversial. I hated it at first, but I really like it now.

[chito2o7o1]

hell yea its 2.5 wit turbo and its awsom

[coldinfusion]

no tturbo u moron

[smokey10111]

speck 5 not v dumbass

[spencerleeb]

spec 5? really?

[smokey10111]

y yes it is dont listen to nflstreet2man the v means 5 in roman numeral

[nflstreet2man]

spec 5 wow your a fagg.its spec v retard

[smokey10111]

the v is a roman numeral for 5 you stupid shit

[nflstreet2man]

ok bro w/e u say.

[akfortykevinn]

wait wait wait, wheres spec 1-4

they just thought fuck it lets start with a spec 5!!

weehooo

oh and the v stands for victory,

every heard of a gtr spec v?

[cheets144]

tc is toyota celica, the scion tc took the place of it, If you didnt notice they dont make celica's anymore.

[CHICOlatacha]

de 0 a 100?

[whitefangv]

I've been shopping around for a fast car that won't kill me with high insurance rates since I'm young and this is my 1st car. This car might be the one.

[smiley00341]

So anyone from Rosamond? lol I went to highschool there ;)

[803boyd]

SPEC V...best bang for the buck.

[Bikeryder4382]

I test drove a base model Sentra, SE-R and V-Spec. I loved all three of them. I bought the SE-R. It's an automatic though because I live in the mountains and all that shifting drives me nuts. It does have autostick. I took it over Hopland grade; OMFG!!! My little Sentra hauled serious ASS over that mtn. I just got the car 2 days ago putting a bigger exhaust kit on it and 18'' rims and lowering it 1''. I love my car!!! :)

[davison1021]

i have to be honest all around i hate the sound hate the dash hate the look engine is nice switch the exhaust if you buy one and air intake to

[mattadam12]

i'm 18 years old and i LOVE THIS CAR. i dnt have one but i test drove it and instantly i fell in love with it. Its more fun than the gti, better low end torque then in the civic si. and there's just nothing bad about it. The only thing i didn't really like was the sound system, but that doesn't matter to me. I ended up getting a 2009 subaru legacy. It has a stick and handles well but it just doesn't bring me as much pleasure as the spec v did. if u dnt like this u car u haven't driven it

[elsanchokaki]

yet you bought a subaru legacy......

[mattadam12]

yea but its the 2.5gt

[nflstreet2man]

2.5gt?

its a qr25de

[ComfortablyxNumb59]

He's talking about his Legacy being the 2.5GT package, not to be confused with the QR25.

[bcubed72]

Tell me it doesn't still have that crappy solid rear axle like my '95 SE-R...:-(

[takyle]

Your '95 SE-R didn't have a solid rear axle. Mustangs and Camaros have solid-rear axles. Your B14 200SX had a solid rear *beam*. They can be bent for better performance.

[jalcoalrocker]

I have a Se-r spec V 2008 and im in love with it, it really nice.

[nflstreet2man]

lol

[joshhg5]

All you people dissing this car;

you need to drive one, and then we'll talk...

[nflstreet2man]

yup very nice and sexy

[ilovelidia4ever89]

these sentras are ugly even though my sis has one but none ser lol the older version ser were way better than these ones
